There aren't many believers in vinyl around here. I think you, me, Geno and badchoices are it. Oh, and Friendly D, but he's on the moon or something.

I'd like to join this club. For me sound is only about 25% of it, the aesthetic pleasure is most of it for me.

Yeah, for me it's about going to the shop and coming out with a couple awesome albums,opening them up for the first time--seeing the album art in it's intended format. An then of course the physical act of dropping the needle onto your new purchase, and getting up to turn it over. I love the routine of vinyl more than anything else.

Oh no, I'm seeing Built to Spill now. Getting frightened that my little Doug Martsch-lovin' heart is about to get torn out like that one time I tried to defend Pavement. Man, I hope everyone loves Built to Spill.

Built to Spill and Caribou and The Knife have not been refuted as far as I remember. Of those, Built to Spill is the most popular, so they probably win.

Also Bjork, but I'm fairly convinced that y'all are just afraid of my backlash.
